Dust to Dust

by Nepheri

What remains of both my parents' bodies is dust. I'm not sure what I was supposed to feel after the fight when I saw the ashes of my father spread across the floor. The adrenaline was pumping through my ears and I was already repeating the prayers I'd need to call on another guiding bolt, but I just ran out of energy and instead sank to the floor.
 
I'm not sure what this means for me. I've helped destroy a truly evil creature. But while my memories from when I was a little girl are mostly hazy, I do have a few treasured ones of that face smiling towards me. Not the smile he gave me when he tried to twist my mind, but genuine kindness. Now, even the lips that made the smile are gone. And I'm left wondering if there was any of his soul left in there. Or what happened t his soul at all.
 
We escaped the house many thanks to a servant whose charm wore off once Barksos was head. He helped get rid of some fat, annoying, merchant at the door for one. But two of the other servants escaped and are likely going to inform Kelara Laurel as soon as they can. Provided her control over them doesn't break first. And I'm betting on her being angry with us for having killed the one she intended to spend eternity with.
 
But right now is a time for celebration. And being thankful for my friends.
